Journal 11

Before Gene had told me all about his trip, he came back in the middle of a snowball fight that I was in. I hit him with a snowball and told him, “We need you on our side even if you do have a lousy aim. We need somebody else. Even you.” We all started fighting and laughing, we were having a good time. Then I turned on some of the people on my side to add excitement. It backfired though everyone ended up ganging up on me! I surrendered of course how could I fight off so many men, it seemed impossible. Gene told me that he was concerned for my leg during that fight. But I truly felt like it was getting stronger. When we were up in the room Brinker stopped by to see how Leper was. Gene told him that he just left the war he never explained to him why. Then later that night Brinker came back up to our room and asked Gene and I to go out. They took us into an Assembly Room. There were other people in the room. Brinker then started questioning me about the accident like it was an interrogation. They had asked me what happened I simply told them, “I feel out of a tree.” They kept asking questions, questions to make the whole situation more specific more clear. It was starting to frighten me, I was thinking to myself why am I here anyways. They started asking me who was in the tree with me. They then were suspicious of Gene being in the tree. It all started coming back to me I did ask Gene to go up the tree with me after all we were both up there together. The boys in the room had mentioned that Leper was at the school so two of the boys left the room and shortly came back with Leper. He was explaining how he saw two boys standing on the limb of the tree one in front of the other but he could not distinguish who was who. Someone from room tried helping him revive his memory by saying, “The one who moved first shook the other one’s balance.” I couldn’t listen to them anymore I couldn’t hear them discuss a topic that was primarily about me when I had no consensus. I was outrage I stormed out of the room and started for the stairs and slipped and fell.
